Frozen Pizza

And so it was that I prepared for frozen pizza again. Not much cash today but, no problem, there is always Totinos, the king of “poverty pizza.” Actually it is pretty good in an icky sort of way. I’m not fond of the saltine cracker crust as I prefer something a bit thicker and bread-like. Nonetheless, two of these babies at $2.50 makes a very filling dinner and are a great deal. What cheese is present actually tastes pretty good and the meat is, well, it is meat-like at least.

I’ve mentioned my love for frozen pizza before so maybe I’ll do a short review of some of my favorites. I used to be strictly a Red Baron guy and I still enjoy their pizza but not as much as a few years back. They seem to have started cutting corners and the cheese in particular is not as good. I think that the DiGiorno is probably my favorite but it quite pricey and is hard to polish off in a single setting. The DiGiorno Ultimate is probably the very best frozen pizza I’ve tried but it is rarely less than $6 so I don’t buy it much. Tony’s or Jack’s make good compromise pies, neither painfully “awful” like Totinos or Genos but not great like the expensive brands. They are a very good choice when they go on sale for $2 or less which happens pretty frequently around here. Both have good cheese and toppings (particularly Jack’s) and Tony’s has a nice crust. Tombstone used to be a distant second or third to Red Baron but I’ve come to enjoy their Pepperoni quite a bit. It (along with Red Baron) is a good deal if you can get it for $3-4 and that is fairly common. Freschetta is pretty close to DiGiorno when it comes to higher end stuff but I find it dough-ier so I tend to lean the other way.

As to toppings, I enjoy the Pepperoni, Sausage or Hamburger and often a meat or multi-cheese combination. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t hate all vegetables but the ones most commonly scattered on a pizza like green peppers, onions, mushrooms and olives are near the bottom of my veggie list so I stick to the meat and cheese. So there you have it. My thoughts on frozen pizza. I think I’m going to go eat one (or two) now.
